... now I really want to hear this guy's music. I take it this is satire... I hope it's satire? Teflon sticking it to the vapid establishment music? If not, this is a bit disturbing... perhaps the more endearing side of disturbing (cool remix after all)

Disappearing from time to time is something that his mucker Peter Lansford also has a history of.

Perhaps it creates an air of mystique.

I personally do it because I have self-destructive behavioral tendencies. There is a positive aspect to my antisocial personality in that it pushes me further down the rabbit hole which should ultimately be the goal of any artist. I just wonder what kind of black hole I would be in if I didn't have an outlet.

Nice to have you back, and thank's for sharing the story behind in your special way

There's something that inspires me in the stuff you do, in the same way a painting or other art can inspire me.
My own stuff is completely different to yours, but I suspect inspiration can unlock doors in ones own brain, leading to unexpected creative consequences seemingly unrelated to the art that triggered it.
Consequences that can propagate further.
So don't underestimate the potential hidden impact, even if credit gets lost in the fog of causalities and the Views&Likes don't match the high numbers.

... and as a funny sidenote I got a YouTube notification for this documentary that was uploaded the same day Modecca posted in this thread:

I am glad you brought Banksy up, I was previously not aware of this colorful individual.
To zoom into the particulars of his art work, I like much of it, as it is a great representation of adventurous/counterculture/unusual combination, based art.
This is a good representation of his work:

If zoom out and look at the big picture, what makes this dude/this scene tick?

Without knowing too much about this guy, I imagine if he was living in a worldwide peaceful utopia, he may still have a craving for the unusual.
But at what point does the unusual become usual?
Many scenes fade, because the ripe undiscovered territory is eventually explored ad nauseam.
I think the more ingredients (range) that are included in the unusual cookbook (the scenes foundation), the longer those members who have a deep-seated need to regularly experience the unusual, can endure.

That said, some will not have a strong appetite for the unusual and demand for unchanging purity. For example those interested in power, don't necessarily care about the depth's of the unknown (home of the unusual). That pursuit is often a conflict of interest to leaders (ex: prohibition of psilocybin in the USA).

Some will seek modifications to a scene that are not accepted by the whole and thus dissenting factions can form.
Some will push for so much change, that chaos results and essence becomes clouded.

So what would the an appropriate member of the scene need to do, to encourage me to participate (I know I don't even qualify due to my strong American accent)?

Transfer ownership of the scene to the US and then the US would need to legalize tagging on buildings (I dont want to go to jail ahaha).
So if you can help me convince the US legislatures to pass a bill, allowing the luxury of vandalizing US property (with positive creative intentions) while a willing person of my choosing (I nominate Jappe!), takes the fall for me and goes to jail/pay fines for my crimes, I will begin at once!

Seriously I dont think I could be convinced to join this scene or any scene for that matter, as independently exploring the depth's of the pure unknown, while maintaining sanity has always been my tendency.

Yes the "unusual" in a tasteful context is what triggers me, it feels like an Inspiration Shot.
Usual aka mainstream to me is like solving a riddle while looking at the correct answer.

-->Agree. I like the idea of combining ideas. The more ingredients the more uncharted territory.

Anyone aware of any good examples of let's say a poet inspiring painter work inspiring musical work?

-->Conformism, obediance, keeps one on the safer side.
What's the potential risk, what's the potential gain,for the one interested in power. Hard to tell when there's humans involved.
Pioneers come up with something new and refreshing, power people take control and make it mainstream like trying to catch a soap bubble.
I remember the beginning of synth music eighties as a more experimental than the end.

"Some will seek modifications to a scene that are not accepted by the whole and thus dissenting factions can form."

--> Thinking of Stock Aitken Waterman.

"Some will push for so much change, that chaos results and essence becomes clouded."

--> Maybe music is a mathematical riddle, a pattern we need to detect. Mainstream: simple, known and boring to some while still a mystery to others.
Chaos: a challenging riddle to some who see patterns and meaningless to others.

And flash mob music is a vitamin pill in a nutrition-poor environment, I already shared this video in some thread:
